    327 4.030 bore Forged pistons w/slp moly faced rings 471 blower running 6-7 pounds boost. Is .005 per inch of bore enough and what about the theory of larger gap on second rings anybody tried this?
    Thanks in advance

    .004 per inch of bore + a couple o thousands for moly rings & blown application.

    Or.....what you said........005

    Never heard the larger gap on 2nd rings theory. I run total seal gapless rings. 2nd ring is gapless.

    What does the piston manufacturer recommend? They should be able to provide recommended gaps for any intended use.
